Last nite was a horrible kickoff to the "new" and "improved" "Red Eye Radio." KGO has turned into a Country AND Western station from 1 a.m. to 4. The two new hosts came right out of WBAP in Dallas and were so right-leaning and it was crap. Every spot was about Freightliner trucks. It had weather from all over the country and it was politically horrible. I'm betting Ray-T had to spin in his bed laughing, it was so bad.
It's all truckers all the time. No airplane intro (thank God) and it's horrible!
Country AND Western?
ReplyDeleteNobody can say they don't respect diversity!
What's the intro? A jake brake?
ReplyDeleteive heard those two before...they get a lot of calls from truckers...its an absurd show
ReplyDeletesay what you want about the og red eye....this is 100 times worse
at least doug is an intelligent conservative
Glad you're listening, so we don't have to!~
ReplyDeleteIt's enough to send one back to--gadzooks! George Snoory?
ReplyDeleteNoooo....not Snoory...anything but that! I'd rather stuff my years with tree frogs!
ReplyDeleteBetter than Ray T. though. Guy was a sick man.
ReplyDeleteIt blows
ReplyDeletemy mind that Cumulus airs this show everywhere
It's like a putting a hip-hop station in rural Utah
I've got to think there is a national market for a middle of the road overnight show - politics, pop culture, interviews with authors. Hell, taped Dennis Miller would be better than this. And if you are going to air taped programming anyway, why not Ronn Owens?
Yeah, I couldn't stand it. Creepy Dallas conservatives. Tryin' to be so humble in their absolute self-adoration. Spencer Hughes exhibited the same tone trying to explain where he was coming from.
ReplyDeleteI never thought that I'd see a day in which the mighty KGO would stoop to the levels of frightwing yahoo radio-complete with "long haul trucking"...so long Bay Area flavor...
DeleteSay what you want, but WBAP is huge down there...
ReplyDeleteIt's not the United States of California.
Rich, did you hear Karel playing his childish word games with caucus?
ReplyDeleteAdd this to his unprofessional and childish comments about which of the two-headed Brazilian girls would masturbate.
He calls you, Rich, a "hack," but shows that he is the hack, because his outrageous comments about the two babies sharing one body were premised on his fact error regarding their gender. They are not girls. They are boys.
If Karel were any kind of a "journalist," as he falsely claims, he would issue a correction on-air.
Add this to his obsession with being gay and talking about it (old news, Karel) and then crying about program directors who will not carry his show because he is so focused on his gayness; how many times he's "getting any"; sex with his late husband; his breakup with his last boyfriend; a guy he thinks is so "good lookin'" and would like to be boyfriends with, "but it just wouldn't work out" (paraphrase); his erroneous contention that he is a journalist (he's not; he's a columnist and radio talk-show host, not a reporter); and his talking over guests, including Ray T. and Gene Bruns, which was very embarrassing.
Add this to the buffoon who cannot even post his show's podcasts on time and in order (he's often missing hours).
I noticed on his last show that he encouraged phone calls and got some. People don't call more because he won't let them talk.
As for his chat room, the fascists that control it are protective of their "queen" (his word describing himself). Sure to be put on probation will be anyone who dares to disagree with Karel about Apple's products, and the quality thereof.
As a real journalist, I cannot fathom why his affiliates even carry him after the masturbation comment.
Lastly, if Karel were a real journalist, as he claims, he would be bound by a code of ethics, which mandates that journalists be factual, and that if fact errors are made, they be promptly corrected.
Well, Karel honey, have you corrected your factual error about the two boys (not girls, as you stated) with one body?
I just love it when the queen (Karel's own adjective to describe himself, on air) waxes so inelegant about there being no God.
Or about how marijuana is natural and therefore there to be used for all. I wonder if he's visited the Haight-Ashbury Clinic or read its book regarding marijuana's deleterious effects on the body.
I'm for legalization of all drugs, as long as they are regulated, but Karel's ignorance about which he speaks is never clearer when it comes to marijuana (which does have some medicinal uses).
Although I'm not a Christian, I just love it when he said the other night that a Christmas song about Christ's birth was "a good story, if you believe it." (That's a rough paraphrase)
Hilarious.
He calls the Republican candidates haters as he spews as much venom and hate as Michael Savage.
And, although my views might make me "conservative" in some people's eyes (and I really dislike labels because they are for simpletons), I agree that the Republican party is nothing more than a stooge party for the military-financial-political-religious right complex.
However, as Bono says: don't change the monster by becoming a monster.
Got that Monster Queen Karel?
Oh, Karel, if you want to complain about program directors who will not buy your program because it is a "full-on" gay focus, you might also want to stop talking about yourself in the third person as "this girl."
You sound like you are a ninth-grader with exploding hormones. My criticisms have nothing to do with being anti-gay. I'm not. I could care less what a person's sexual preferences are. Not my business. I support marriage for gays.
But, come on, Karel, sweetie, you are so immature, so stop beating up on Rich. Clean up your own act, you hack.
I will never listen to KGO again the station sucks now that the soul of the station is gone. The host they have now are terrible and I hope their rating drop and drop and drop. I miss Gene, Ray, John and all the others Not even Karel can make me feel better. I hope all the guys find new jobs at stations that will kick KGO ass
ReplyDeleteAt least there's the Beeb Overnight on KALW 91.7...I'll take the Beeb over the Boob(s) on 810 anytime.
